There isn't any Teleport Homer...
Hmmm... Good point...
There's no squad/unit in the 2nd variant that can carry a Teleport Homer... They're Deep-striking with all the risks...

If you're going to deep strike them, make it a 10 man regular Terminator squad with 2 cyclone missile launchers. You deep strike them 24'' away from something and shoot it up.

Otherwise, you want some kind of a transport for them- especially as assault variant.

Maybe this is a noob question but(list #1) why would you put a sanguinary priest with a Devastator squad. I hope it's not to give them FNP because if it is that is a huge waste of points IMHO.
